(Continued from The Sun of Wednesday.) 165.--. rye lately called the attention of our agricultural readers to the wanton and vexatious attack upon their interests co: twined in the stupid, uncalled-for alteration of the duties on foreign fruit. —Maidstone Journal, Oct. 23, 1838. ANSWER.—Some good must have been doing, if " our agricultural readers" are called on. It seems there are pear-laws as well as corn-laws ; and the little may be taken as sample of the great. 166.--One instance has just occurred. A few days since, about 200 bushels of foreign pears passed the Customhouse, paying only the reduced scale of duty on their declared value, which amounted to about fourpence the bushel. The protect ing duty which her Majesty's Ministers, the officially-constituted protectors of agriculture, in the fullness of their anxiety to carry out the one-sided reciprocity system, have taken off, would have subjected the fruit in question to a duty of 7s. 6d.—ld. A.—That is, the Government has refused to take 7s. 2d. from the munchers of pears, and 7s. 2d. more from the tradesmen with whom they would have expended it if they had munched their pears free (making 14s. 4d.), in order to put 7s. 2d. into the pockets of the owners of pear orchards. 167.—The effect that must result is obvious. English pears, which have usually produced at this season from 12s. to 14s. a bushel, are now selling at about half that price. —ld. A.—How shocking! Could not the Society for Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals be induced to take up the subject of cheap pears? 168. ----and, of course, the grower, with the same bur dens, the same expenditure for labour, taxes, rent, arid other outgoings, must be content, if he can, to receive just half what his labour, capital, and skill have formerly produced ! —ld. A.—lf he cannot grow the pears but at a double price, whence comes his right to take the difference twice over out of other people's pockets? The distinction between selling and stealing is, that one takes what other people are willing to give, and the other what they are not. A pickpocket might pay taxes, and expend for labour, taxes, rent, and other outgoings ; but this would not make a right t 5 take the matter of his trade out of the pockets of the public. A man who can only carry on such a trade as chat, ha:; no right to carry it on at all. , But it i s a m i srepresentat i on to say h e rece i ves h a l f of what his labour, capital, and skill have formerly produced. His labour, capital, and skill did not produce it ; his taking out of other people's pockets produced it. 169.—0ne would naturally suppose, if unacquainted with the circumstances, that the British fruit• grower had been enjoying a valuable monopoly, under which he was getting so rich and waxing so great, that it was becoming necessary, as a matter of State policy, to take a slice off his profits, and keep him within the bounds of moderate prosperity, and that therefore the Government of the country had thus, as it were, sum ptitiously interfered, by a stroke of secret policy I —ld. A.—lt is always matter of State policy, or ought to be, to stop those who are living on what they take from other people. Still more, when it is to be taken twice over, for the half that goes to the plunderer. 1 70. —Any man having the most moderate stock of common sense, would be apt to laugh in one's face if he were told that the period selected for this extraordinary interference with the gains of the fruit-grower, was one in which he often fouled that it would have been profitable to have thrown his fruit to the pigs rather than incur the risk and loss of sending it to market. —ld. A. If he cannot grow the fruit with a profit, what reason is that why the difference is to be supplied out of other people's pockets? A pretty conclusion things would be brought to, if every man who could not make both ends meet, claimed the right to levy the difference on his neighbours. 171.—But there is another circumstance connected with this subject, which, if the measure remain unrcpealed, will be a source of greater injustice than any we have named, amount ing, in fact, to positive robbery. We allude to its effects upon agreements under the Act for the Commutation of Tithes. These agreements, it is known, are calculated on the average produce for seven years, enJing with 1835. Now, in the fruit parishes of this county, fruit has in many instances been valued nearly as high as hops—we may state the average at about 255. an acre ; whereas now, in the opinion of able and expe rienced men, five shillings will be much nearer the value of the tithe on fruit. —ld. A.—See how one deep calls upon another. " First, set a dishonest price on fruit ; then include it in a dishonet commutation of tithe ; and so you will have the persons involved in the dishonest commutation, to back those inte rested in the dishonest price." This is what the Ministry chose to do, and they would hear of nothing else. There is no doubt a claim for the revision of the tithe. 172.—A few days ago 200 bushels of foreign pears passed the Custom-house, paying only fourpence per bushel of duty, instead of seven shillings and sixpence, as heretofore. The consequence of this change of system must be utter ruin to the English fruit grower ; and the case in question furnishes an additional illustration of the character of our prevailing commercial policy. The end and object of that policy is to sacrifice every class, in succession, of native producers, to the insatiable lust of cheapness, by which our idle consumers are possessed —Morning Herald, Oct. 24, 1838. A.—Why not as well support the stealers of pocket handkerchiefs, in opposition to " the insatiable lust of cheapness" which possesses the idle consumer, who goes about grumbling that he is only to have the service of five out of his last half-dozen ? 173.—Great Britain has risen, (as all powerful countries of which history furnishes any recorij have risen,) to eminence and influence, by regarding the interests of the producing classes as paramount over those of mere consumers; and if Great Bri tain is destined to descend from her pride of place among the nations, the causes of her descent—manifold though they may appear—will be found to resolve themselves (as the causes of decline in all the nations that have hithe r to passed away have resolved s)into an inversion, by legislative influence, of that order which nature has established between the con stintit,g and pro.iucing classes —an order which never can be violated long, but at the risk of social dissolution. —ld. A.—Where is the proof? Who believes it, except the same classes respectively who believe the greatness of Bri tain comes by the trade in stolen handkerchiefs in Field lane? Doubtless, any alteration there would be considered as "an inversion of the order which nature has esta hlkhed bet we,ai the consuming and producing classes." 74. __The unfair reduction of the duty on foreign fruits involves, in the first place, a direct diminution of the national income from that source. —ld. A.—lt involves a diminution of what is taken nut of people's pockets to be paid into the Custom-house ; but it is presumable, that what it does not take, it leaves. 175.—The change robs, moreover, a valuable class of men (who have, on the faith of legislative protection, embarked their capitals in the trade affected) of that compensating, or nearly compensating price, to which they were entitled to look forward in a season of scarcity.--/d. A.—A elms of men who live upon other people, are anything but valuable. IN.—But not merely is the class of cultivators in question robbed of a partial and temporary protection from loss : their properties are permanently deprived of at least one-half the value, that previously belonged to them.—li. A.—That is, they are deprived of half the value, which had previously been given to them by laws made by the owners and their fellows, to enable them to double the value at the expense of other people. 177.—That depreciation of property is caused by the neces sary abandonment of their trade to foreigners ; and that aban donment of a blanch of native industry not merely inflicts in jury on the capitalists who had carried it on, but on a consi derable bcdy of labourers, whom that branch of industry supplied with the means of occupation.—ld. A.—For every man thrown out of employment by taking the 7s. 2d. from the dishonest pear-grower, a man is brought into employment by the expenditure of the 7s. 2d. on the honest trader who gets it ; and the muncher of pears, who may also be a working man, gets something for his 7s. 2d. instead of nothing. 178.—This process of narrowing the market for native la- bour, and the field for the employment of native capital, in jures to a certain, although scarcely definable, degree, all other classes of labourers and capitalists—in the first place, by increasing to a greater or a lesser extent the general pressure of competition in the employment both of capital and of la bour; and, in the second place, by lessening to precisely the same extent, the consumption in the home market, of the other products of native industry.—/d. A.—There is no narrowing the market for native labour; for where what may be called a dishonest labourer is taken away, an honest one is called up in his room. There is no narrowing the field for the employment of native capital, for the dishonest capital is replaced in the same way by honest. And in addition to all this, the consumers, who are everybody, get something for their money instead of nothing, at every turn. 179.—Then follows increased pressure on the poor -rates, accompanied with diminished means of supporting the burden which they impose. Then come the customary denunciations of the poor—because they are without that employment, of which the Legislature has, by its specific acts, deprived them : then come, on the other hand, the feeling of hatred towards property, the sense of injustice inflicted by law, and those deep desires of vengeance against the privileged classes by whom the law is " ruled"—desires which, when they have thoroughly leavened the mass of the labouring poor, deprive the posses sions of the rich of their best—their only ultimate safeguard. —ld. A.—The premises having fallen," then comes" —nothing. But look out for what may come, when the people under stand the nature of food monopolies. 1 r3O. And for vcll;A mighty obj._tct are these results , " littlo," risk e d i n t h e easo heforo ? in order that the lovers of dcs.seri.s Ina - yr enjoy a luxury on unnaturally cheup terms.—ld. A. — Wily stop the stealing of pocket-handkerchiefs ? S:lnply that the lovers of poeket,haodkerehiefs may blow their noses on unnaturally ch6p ieffils. Set up the stealers in the judgment-seat, and this will soon be what they will " rule." (TO BE CONTINUED.) MONEY AND CITY NEWS. (FROM Tilt MORNING PAPERS OF TFIIS DAY.) TIAIR S.—The return recently made of the circulation of the country banks leads to a comparison with its state at this period of last year, from which some important conclusions may be often drawn. The account stands thus:—. Average from the Ist of July to the 30th of September, 1837: Private Banks £6,701,996 Joint-stock Banks 3,440,053 Total X 10,142,044 Average from the Ist of July to the 30th of September, 1838 : Private Banks £7,083,811 Joint-stock Banks 4,281,153 Total £11,364,964 Increase Of this increase, it appears that 381,815/. is in the circula tion of the private banks, and the remaining 841.100/. in the circulation of the joint-stock banks. The increase of the cir culatiou of the private banks is, therefore, nearly 51 per cent. on the circulation of the corresponding period of last year; and the increase in the circulation of the joint-stock banks is nearly 24i- per cent. on the circulation of the corresponding period of last year. From the circumstance that this great increase in the circa lation of the joint-stock banks takes place at a period when manufactured articles and the raw material are at low prices, it is to be feared that this increase is founded on advances on railway shares and other securities, which, however good in themselves, are highly objectionable as the foundation of is suos of paper. Some re-action is, therefore, necessarily to be looked for. The unfavourable reports respecting the news from India caused soma stir in the funds, with a decline of prices. Con sols receded to 931 to for Money and the Account ; Bank Stock was 2031 to 4; India Stock was depressed to 259 to 60 ; Exchequer Bills 645. to 665. premium. There was little movement in the foreign market. Dutch Stocks were firm, the Two-and-a- Half per Cents. at 54 to ; the Five per Cents., 1001 to 1; Spanish Actives, with the May Coupons, were 171- to 4 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 311 to 24 ; the Three per C en t s ., 203- to 1 ; Brazilian were 78 to ; Mexican, 211 to 24; Colombian, 231 to Railway Shares improved slightly. Great Western were 13 to 14; London and Birmingham, 84 to 86; Manchester and Birmingham, 1 to 14 premium ; Eastern Counties, LI-, to i; Brighton, 21 to i ; Blackwall, 18 to / discount. The adsices from Buenos Ayres reach to the 11th of August. The French brig of war Badine had arrived with the ultimatum of the French Government to M. A. Roger, late Consul at Buenos Ayres. The blockade was still pressed ; but it was stated from Monte Video, in letters of the 14th of August, that the French Admiral had passed up the river the day before, supposed to make fresh propositions. It ap pears, according to some of the letters from Buenos Ayres, that Santa Cruz had been actively engaged in endeavouring to bring over the troops opposed to him, and had made pro pos;tions to that end through Colonel Sevilla to I 1 midst, the Ge,,eral commanding on the frontiers for Buenos Ayres. Accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro to the 2d of September. The exchange was 27/ to 1. It was stated that the Finance Minister was about to demand a credit of the Legislature for 5,000 contos of reis after the discussion on the budget, appointed to take place about a week after. wards. Letters have reached the city from Guayaquil, by way of Panama, to so late a date as the Bth of August. They refer to advices received from Payta, on the coast of Peru, dated a few days previously, which mention that a revolution had broken out in Piura and the northern provinces of Peru against Santa Cruz, and that a similar movement was expected to have been simultaneously made at Lima on the 28th of July, with Orbigoso, the President, at the head of it. The greatest anxiety has prevailed in the city respecting the intelligence from India, as nothing had arrived except the de spatches of the East India Company, which came on by their own special messenger, leaving the mails to follow. The letters which are to come on by Mr. Waghorn's agency, as they would pass through Marseilles, are expected to be in town on Monday; the Post-office, last in the race, as usual, employs the Mediterranean packet line, and that delivery is not due till the 4th of November; when it may arrive is another matter. CHRONICLE.—The Consol market opened buoyant, with a tendency to improve, but it shortly afterwards sustained suddenly a considerable depression, the price, which was firm at 94 both for Money and the Account, having receded to 931 to and at which it closed. Nothing positive transpired as to the cause of this unexpected change in the appearance of things, although rumours of every description were current. The report most credited at the Stock Exchange was that the despatches from India were cf a very warlike character ; but rot the slightest change has taken place in the value of East India Stock or India Bonds, which would naturally be more particularly depressed had the state of things in the East undergone any alteration for the worse, so that the state ments in that respect seem to require confirmation. An other report, and which was also very general, was that a vessel had arrived at Liverpool with further advices from Canada, and that their complexion was not satisfactory. As a short time, however, must throw light upon the matter, it is useless to dwell upon the merits of the rumours. Advices have certainly been received from India at the East India House to Sept. 13th, from Bombay, but nothing official, as we have said before, has yet been made known, and no private letters have come to hand. India Stock remains at 2614- to 2624, and India Bonds at 64 to 66 prem. The uncertain state of affairs in the English Stock Market created some gloom in the foreign, but business was not ex tensive, and there is not, therefore, any particular variation to notice in the prices. _ _ _ Accounts have come to hand from Rio de Janeiro to the Ist ult., which arc not on the whole considered very favour able. Commercial matters were very inanimate, and fears were entertained as to the state of Rio Grande, where it ap pears the insurgents were still exerting themselves to get the upper hand. The meeting of Congress had been prorogued to the 30th of September, when it was expected the Minister of Finance would apply for an additional credit of about 5 ,000 contos of reis. The rate of exchange on London was 9 71 to and the price of the local stock 81 to 1. The blocka6 of Buenos Ayres still continued on the 10th of August. The rumours continue very general that the Directors of the Bank of England are daily in grave deliberation as to the policy of lowering the rate of discount, and conse quently of extending the currency, a measure which has been strongly recommended to their adoption at the present time. It is generally understood in the City that the Directors would be extremely willing to extend the currency, so far as their own position as hankers may be concerned, for the profits of the establishment are declining so much that an increase of their business, and con sequently of profits, would be very desirable as a means of keeping up the dividends, the payment of which has latterly deducted so alarmingly from the " rest," or surplus capital ; but, on the other hand, the Bank has been formerly charged with so many errors arising out of the extension of the cur rency, that the Directors are exceedingly timid on the sub. ject, and though money has been recently proved to be decid edly deficient in the country, they are believed to be quite bewildered as to the course which it may be prudent to take. The true policy, in the opinion of many well-informed per sons, would be to steer a middle course, and to extend the cir culation in a reasonable degree, but without that wholesale deluge of paper which formerly led to the early and corres ponding great contractions which have brought so many trou bles on the commerce of the world. HERALD.—The commercial and monetary interests were thrown into more than usual excitement during, the early part of the day by the announcement that the East India Company bad received overland despatches and papers from our East Indian possessions by the Malta mail, containing not only very important, but alarming intelligence from the trontiers of Per sia and the northern provinces of India. These despatches, which have been brought to the East In dia Company exclusively by their agent, Mr. Calvert, from Malta, reach down to the 13th September from Bombay, with corresponding dates from other portions of India, and pretty strongly confirm the previous statements of this Journal that Russia has long been making the most of her insid ious and self-aggrandising policy, both in Persia and the North of British India. It appears from these despatches to the Company and the Government, the contents of which have been kept as secretly as possible, that the Indian Government, at length aroused to the important fact that the Russians have not only been intriguing with the Persians but the Rajahs in our north Indian territories, have, at the eleventh hour, re solved to check these intrigues on the part of the Russians by a vigorous movement of troops and reinforcement of the Indian army to the extent of full 50,000 men. It is also stated that about 25,000 regular British and Company's troops were marching to Affghanistan, in the Caboul, with a vi ew to pro tect Ale Rajahs in the north from the attacks of the Persians, who it is fully evident have been backed by Russian intrigues; in fact, f rom every one of the Presidencies all the troops that could be spared have been advanced toward the north of India. Sir Henry Fane had retracted his resignation, and was to command the fo rces i n C a b ou l. These accounts also confirm our previous statement that a force had been sent to take possession of Aden. Amongst parties well acquainted with East India affairs it is anticipated, if the demonstration on the part of the British power in India has not come too late, that it will lead to some considerable changes in the petty sovereignties of India, though ther e i s some sat i sfaction arising out of the c i rc umstance that Runj ee t Si ng h had resolved to co-operate with t h e British, and aid the m with 50,000 troops. It also appears that Rus sian intrigue had not penetrated into the Burmese e mpire, and that the new resident, Major Benson, had been cordially re ceived at Ava. By the mercantile accounts from India, it is stated that the prices of corn and cottons were on the advance. At Bombay the exchange had fallen to 2s. Id., and at Cal cutta it was reported that the company had closed their trea slauirLyd! advances whilstelemrai oe n ur e cs e lalae s ynt t mercantile tss o ba n apipnnp p bdtoe r ri o rtrusee d t msef u trd e siet e itgaac i tbno n ctn t ste e nhst n eebc d f rteeoeoddinn Europetf iuet shipment peslatrmnbe;dseilenbaontuwcat lower. : o ohs:). ifa E :ca n ain g i i : commercial most T h cunirtal,ve proves that nothing shot of a tkeil.retfulated st''''''' communication with India by priv.;te enterprise will make Il' for the apathy of thz• Ow:eminent aarl East Indinn authoriL:, on a question of so much importanc e . The private lette rs w hi c h have been received from Con stantinople to-day confirm the previous statements of this Jour nal as to the fact of Rcschid Pacha's visit to this country, with a view to strengthen the commercial relations between the British Government and the Porte ; but it i s ant i c i pate d that it will require no inconsiderable degree of tact on the part of our Adonis at the intrigues of Russia with the Porte, and regain that due amount of British supremacy in the Le vant, and throughout the east, which has been sacrificed by wordy protocols, unbacked by a strong line of old-fashioned British policy. POST.—The important, announcement of the distra c t e d state of affairs on the Persian frontiers and in the northern provinces of our Indian Empire, created by Russian intrigue, as published in the second edition of the Morning Post to day, created the greatest excitement amongst all the leading interests of the City ; and as it was fully confirmed by the circumstance that the East India Company and the Govern ment had received advices of an urgent nature from that im portant but neglected portion of the British Empire, it may readily be imagined that it bad considerable influence upon all our public securities. There seems not to be the slightest doubt but that the Indian Government had been aroused to make every effort to check Russian intrigue with the northern Rajahs, and in all the petty sovereign ties of Caboul, but, in effect, the intelligence which has transpired to-day goes but little beyond that which has already appeared in the Morning Post. It is satis factorv, however, to mention that Runjeet Singh had resolved to support the British forces with an army of 50,000 men, whilst it is supposed that the Burmese empire has not been actually tainted by Russian intrigue, as Major Benson had been received at the Court of Ava as the new British Resident. The private letters from Constantinople do not add to the information given by the private correspondence of this Journal in the morning; but our monetary quotations will show that the present gloomy aspects of our political horizon have had a good deal of influence upon the Public Funds. The circumstances to which we have already referred have caused a considerable depression in the Public Securities as compared with the closing quotations of the last evening, and some large sales caused Consols to fall from 94 ; i- to 931 for Money and Time. There have, however, been compara tively few Money sales, and the last quotations are 934 to for Money and the Account. EAST INDIES. (From the Bombay Courier, August 2.5.) The symptoms of war to the northward are increasing, and among them we find an order by the Commander-in- Chief, announcing that " the leave of absence granted to officers to proceed to the Presidency, or to the stations on the frontier, preparatory to applying for furloughs to Eu rope, on account of their private affairs, is cancelled, and such of them as have already quitted the head-quarters of their respective regiments are required to rejoin without unnecessary delay." The Agra Ukbbar now states that the rumours have been succeeded by information of a de finitive nature, and that the British or Seikh powers are in conjunction to reinstate Schah Soojah. We have already detailed the amount of the British force for this purpose, which we recapitulate, and which is to consist of three corps of European troops (one of them to be the European re giment) seven corps of native infantry ; one regiment of European cavalry, and two of native ; four troops of horse artillery, and two companies of foot artillery. The Agra Ulchbar again announces that the Commander-in-Chief in person will conduct this force, which is also to be aided by a strong corps of Sappers and Miners, and the native regi ments are to be drawn from Meerut, Kurnaul, and Loo &anal]. In connection with this it is stated that at Agra there was considerable activity in the military departments of the station, and that the officer in charge of the ord nance had received orders to despatch 3,000 stand of arms without delay to Loodeanah. A change has come over the Burman Councils, and they are now as peaceable, conciliatory, and obsequious as they were a few weeks since blustering and bragadocio. Colonel Benson, on his arrival at Rangoon, was received with greater demonstrations of respect than have yet been ac corded by these barbarians to any British officer. As the resident proceeded from the beach to the residence of the Woonduck, accompanied by Captain Macleod and 50 picked men of the 40th Regiment, Native Infantry, they passed through the Burmese troops forming a line on each side, and their coming was announced by discharges of artil lery. Colonel Benson had intended proceedin g higher up the river in the steamer; but, finding the conduct of the Burmese so amicable, he took advantage of the native boats which were offered him, and which were of the best description, and fitted up very richly far his reception. Although we have managed to effect this change of tone among the Burmese, we think it would be very imprudent at this season to relax any of those measures, or decrease those military means which have been attended with so salutary an effect. Considering the expenses which have been incurred in the matter, and the treatment which we have for some time past received from the Despot, we ought, at all events, to insist upon some indemnity ; and, by way of a beginning, we consider that, Rangoon should raise the British flag, although we suppose that our generosity will be content with gewgaws in lieu. (From the Delhi Gazette., August 15.) We understand that the following troops have been warned for field-service in the Candahar and Caboul : Two troops of Horse Artillery, Major Pewe's Camel Bat tery, two companies of Foot Artillery, two companies of Sappers, her Majesty's 16th Lancers, the 2d, 3d, and 4th Regiments of Native Cavalry, her Majesty's 3d and 13th Regiments of Infantry, the Hon.

The force is to assemble at Kurnaul on the 31st of October next, and thence proceed, via Bhutner, Bhawulpore, and Caboul will, it Mithennore, to Candahar. e ed A i. g e / r w th U e k e h x b p a e r d o it f ie A n ug te . 16.)

As the requisition was urgently made, it is said the troops are even new on their passage out, and that they will proceed direct to, and ascend the Indus, and land either at Loodeanah f rom the Sutlege, other river. or at Attoch on the of view a most excellent arrangement, and a prodigious saving in time, money, and human life, which would all be expended on the o ld route, will be insured in cons equence of it. It is, however, maintained by some, that Great Britain is at the present moment unable to spare a single soldier ; but this difficulty will probably be got over by some militia regiment being raised—a measure at which Lord John Russell more than hinted as likely to be adopted in the debates on the yeomanry force. But, whatever re solution the home authorities come to, it requires but very little sagacity to see that the existence of our Indian empire must be, ere long, seriously endangered, if a consi derable augmentation of European troops does not take place. The whole northern line of the empire, the extreme left to Arracan, is more or less threatened, or rather liable to invasion. The Russians, Goorkhas, and Burmese, are all opposed to us, and a successful hostile demonstration of the first would be assuredly followed by the other two. If a current report can be credited, 6,000 Russians, armed at all points, have arrived at Astrahud, a town on the eastern coast of the Caspian, and with friendly relations subsisting between Persia and Russia, their further march to Caboul will be of little difficulty. If such report be true, our Government have only to hasten their own proceedings, and meet the Russians on the western frontier of Caboul. The distance is in their favour, though the dilatoriness usually charac teristic of Indian warfare will counteract this advantage. The Goorkhas again, it is thoroughly known, only wait a favourable opportunity to attack us. They have con fidential agents at every disaffected Court in India, insti gating them to join in one simultaneous rise against us. Such treachery as this, if passed unnoticed, will lead to an impression of our weakness and timidity, while to punish it will be an easy task, and, as an example, would save as muc h similar work. If instead of employing 40,000 and upwards of troops, and sparing Catmandhoo, when we had sur mounted every difficulty opposed to us, and had arrived within three marches of it, we were to employ one quarter of the force to proceed direct to their capital and take it, we should effectually teach the Goorkhas forbearance. The same remarks are applicable to the hostile Burmese, whom we treated with the same ill-timed clemency that we did the Goorkhas—we halted within forty miles of Ava. Their submission would, however, in all probability follow. A summary example of the Goorkhas is another inducement for proceeding at once vigorously against the latter. Af fairs are now rapidly approaching a crisis, and it is clear to the " meanest capacity" that vigour and judgment in a high degree are both requisite to readjust them to our interest and safety. (From the Agra Ukhbar, August 18 .) We h ave j ust received the following from Kurnaul, though, from some delay in the Dawk, the general order announcing the arrangements mentioned has not yet reached Agra.

The whole to be 25,000 men, includ ing Schab S oo j a h' s f orces . W e go f rom thi s t o Bokhar, across to Shikarpore, and through the Bahur Pass to Can dahar, and thee on to Herat. Intelli g ence has just been rece i ve d a t A gra L oo deanah, to the effect that the Schah of Persia bad been completely discomfited at Herat, his army utterly broken up, and himself obliged to fly. He had made an assault on the town, and was repulsed with great slaughter and the loss of all his guns. The Russian Ambassador and European Aid-de-Camp were killed, the former having received three balls in his body. If this important intelligence be authentic, it must seriously affect our policy in relation to Schah Soojah and the settlement of Caboul. The Persians will now, as a matter of course, abandon all attempts at making themselves maters of Herat : indeed, it is not impro bable that the King himself may be taken, as he is hotly pursued. Should this occur, a revolution in Persia will be the probable consequence, from which will further en sue a desire on the part of the present Sovereign to court the alliance of the British. So far this will be favourable, but on the other hand the success of the Kam Ram, the Schah of Herat, will embarrass us. The views, up to the present time at least, of our Government were, we suppose, to displace Dost Mahomed, to retake Herat, if it had fallen before the Persians, and garrison it, on behalf of Scbah Soojah, or if the Persians had been besieging it on our ar rival, to have driven them back, and compel Schah Kam Ram to acknowledge Schah Soojah, his uncle, as King of Caboul. The successful turn Schah Kam Ram's affairs have taken, and the firmer position he now occupies, will, however, render it difficult, if not impossible, to obtain his consent to the reinstatement of Schah Soojah, and the sur render of Herat to that chieftain. Kam Ram claims an equal right with the other to the throne of Caboul, and, if personal merit had aught to do with the election of Kings, he would be selected before his competitor. Any com promise between the two, by a division of territory, would be impolitic in the highest degree, and not to be thought of. The King of Caboul must possess Herat, for to place the latter under an independent ruler would be to lay the seeds of constant hostility between him and Scbah Soojah, and our object of converting Caboul into an effective bar rier against Russia would be thus utterly defeated. The true policy of Government under these circumstances is, to let their election light on Kam Ram instead of Schah Soojah. He is much the more popular of the two among the Affghans ; his personal merit is much superior, and he was never expelled his dominion for cruelty. This and the eclat that must arise from his triumph over the Per sians would render the expulsion of, the family that now rules in Caboul more easy by him than by another. A loan from us, some officers and military stores, would enable him to effect the expulsion of the sons of Fatty Khan from both Caboul and Caralahar, and thus become master of all Affghanistan, without our striking a blow. He would tog, as an instrument, be far more useful in our hands than the un fortunate and timid Schah Soojah ever could become. His right, a thing always scrupulously regarded by our Govern ment when it suits them, is equal to Schah Soujah's. Zu man Schah, Mahomed Schah, Soojah, and Yecoob, were brothers, and were born and reigned in Caboul in the order in which they are given. Scbah Zuman was dethroned and blinded by a second brother, who in his turn was de. throned by the third brother with the assistance of Futty Khan. The third in due order was dethroned by Ma homed, who again obtained possession of the throne, and seizing Fatty Khan, blinded and put him to death. Ma homed's son, Kam Ram, was at that time Governor of Herat under his father. The sons of the murdered Futty khan rebelled, and drove Mahomed from the throne ; be fled to Herat to his son, where he was, as a matter of course, poisoned or put to death by other means. The victorious sons of Fatty Khan proclaimed Yecoob as the person to act the pageant of royalty in this shifting of Kings, but shortly after drove him out ; he flew to La hore, where he now is a pensioner upon Runjeet Singh. It thus appears that Kam Rum has an equal, and accord ing to our law of succession a stronger right to the throne of Caboul, as son of the elder brother, than Schah Soojah, and his elevation to it would certainly be more likely to lead to a termination of the barbarous anarchy and inhuman feuds of this family. If we place Schah Soojah on the throne, Yecoob will always be a puppet in the hands of Runjeet to play against us whenever he may think it expe dient, while Kam Rain's right is distinct, and of a nature less likely to be disputed. If he succeeds to Caboul it is very probable he will be an enemy to the Sikhs, which our Government, in the present state of their relations with that Power, would no doubt regard as a serious objection. That our relations with it are on a footing they should not be is very clear, but if we choose to continue them on it the forbearance of Kam Ram could only be gained. Were a Hastings or a Wellesley at the head of the Go vernment, instead of the line of policy we are pursuing, we should, we have little doubt, see the empire of Caboul restored to its former proportions and its eastern boundary line be continuous with the western one of our empire. (From the Bombay Courier, Sept. 4.) With reference to the information in our last Number, as to the intention of despatching a force to take possession of Aden, we find a statement in our contemporary, that Cap tain Haines will proceed for the purpose with a detachment of 50 men only; This seems so small an amount of physical means that we have some difficulty in believing that the affair will be practicable with so few arms to provide against ac cidents. The Arabs are very numerous, and we know that at times they can exhibit themselves awkward customers ; and, although one party at Aden may be disposed to ratify the treaty which has been entered into, the other may ma nifest a considerable degree of animosity on our preparing to take this step. We learn that Aden, when once secured, will be a very defencible place, and that a small body of men might manage to secure its possession when gained ; but 50 appear to us barely sufficient to keep the old women there in order, and not enough to maintain the single pass which leads from the interior into the town. As we regard this place as of extreme importance to us, and think its ac quisition will soon confer benefits exceeding any cast of obtaining possession, we hope that Government will well con sider the probable obstacles before embarking such a modi cum of force. We have not the slightest doubt that Aden, from its position near the mouth of the Red Sea, its easy communication with the province of Yemen, and also with the opposite coast of the cnzbouchcre of the Red Sea, and the facility, by such its locality, of drawing towards it the commercial products of Abyssinia, will very soon assume a commercial importance which will eclipse that of Mocha, and amply repay the excessive difficulties we have en countered in procuring its cession. MADRAS, Ana. 25.—A shipment of shells is going on for Calcutta, to replace, it is supposed, in the arsenal at Fort William, those which have been abstracted for trans mission to the Upper Provinces. We regret to learn that cholera has been raging violently at Bellary. The Quartermaster of her Majesty's 41st Re giment and his lady, with Lieutenant Morris, of the same corps, have fallen victims to it, and several officers are reported to have been subsequently attacked. The de tachment of the 7th Native Infantry at Grody had also suffered much. The absence of rain at both places is pre sumed to be the cause of the fatal disease breaking out. On dit that orders have arrived at the Presidency for despatching Madras troops to occupy the Dooab. (From the Delhi Gazette Extraordinary, Aug. 23.) We hasten to lay before our readers the following highly interesting and important intelligence just received from the North Westward. It is contained in a letter addressed to an officer of rank in our service from a na tive gentleman of good respectability at Peshawar, who is in the confidence of Sutum Mahomed, the Sirdar of that place, and the news came to the Sirdar from Candahar, from one of his brothers, there being three of them there —two friendly, and the third an enemy. The intelligence we deem in every way worthy of cre dit. and as the letter containing it is dated the 12th of Joomadoolawul, the news is this day but 19 days old. We have no time for remark, further than to say that should Prince Ram Ram, t•upported as he is by the whole of Turkistan, obtain possession of Candahar and Caboul ere the British forces reach Affghanistan, there will, to use a vulgar phrase, be a fine kettle of fish to fry ! "To the presence of the best of the English Generals from his humble servant. " The news from Herat is to this effect, that the Prince Kam Ram with his troops made a sally from the fort of Herat, and sword in hand attacked the army of Ma homed Schah, the Kajar, and killed 12,000 of the forces of the said Kajar. " Shums Ood Deen Khan, the brother-in-law of the Prince Kam Ram, who on the approach of the Kajar from the first had deserted Kam Ram and joined the former, was also slain in the action, and 20 horsemen of the escort of Mahomed Omer Khan, the son of Sirdar Khan, of Cai dahar, were also killed, and Mahomed Schab, the Ka jar, is nnuac:el:, r. , duc•ed to nothin:= ; d r) te,ls, and hag,'ilg.'

Dis patches to this effect are continuolly arriving. " The Ukhbar, from Candahar, says that the Sirdars Ko bun Dil Khan, Ruhm Dil Khan, and Sihr Dil Khan, with Hajee Khan Hatur and others of the Khaooaum, assembled in Council, and came to the resolution that the Prince Kam Ram, as soon as he shall have leisure from the affair of the Kajar, will be very powerful, and will invade Can dahar, and intelligence had been received from Hindostan that the Sahiban, with twenty regiments, artillery, &c., will escort Schah Soojah to this place (Candahar) for the purpose of restoring that monarch : and that after the rains he would arrive. They, therefore, despatched a trusty messenger to the Ameer Dost Mahomed Kban to Cabcul, and are themselves collecting grain, ammunition, and pre parinc, the means of defence. This is the latest news from Candahar. _ " The news from Caboul is, that Dost Mahomed Khan has planted fifty guns ou the Fort of Bela Hisar, is casting others, and is actively engaged in warlike preparations, while he daily takes musters of his troops, and purchases all horses that arrive from Toorkistan and the neighbour ing parts. He now is oppressing beyond measure the ryots, merchants, shopkeepers, and every class of people, by his demands of money, while he is collecting granaries and preparing store-houses in Jallallabad, Khuebur, and Alee Musjid. He also, night and day, holds consultations with his brothers and the nobility, who apparently give him confidence and support. " Aga Hoosain, a sbecah (who is in the confidence of the Ameer) and the Ameer Akhoongada, or domestic chap lain of the Ameer, a Soonee, in open Durbar, in the pre sence of Dost Mahomed, came to altercation, Aga Hoosain speaking highly in favour of the Kajar, while the Ameer Akhoongada gave unlimited praise to Kam Rant. " Mahomed Akbar, the son of Dost Mahomed Khan, hag marched to Caboul, having first left his army in the Surfued Koh, at Koondkee,to watch Abdool Mandoorhkar, Abdool Zhuzduahhau, and another Sirdar, the chiefs of the Barckzhee clan. Dost Mahomed Khan has also sent letters and khilats to the Arabs of Peshawar, by name Jorma Khan, Summit Khan, Izzut Khan , Nussur Oallah Khan, Saadat Khan. He has also caused to be erected two new bastions or forts, one in Sunder Khan, the other in Jubughee." Just after the foregoing was sent to press, we learnt from good authority, that another letter from Peshawar, from Schap Soojah's own brother, confirming the intelligence, has been received. It would appear from this letter, that Prince Ka* Ram intends coming at once to Candahar, and reducing that place ere our troops can possibly arrive there, and afterwards proceeding against Caboul, which, supported as he now appears to be, will undoubtedly fall into his posses sion, without, perhaps, a blow being struck. (From the Bombay Courier of Sept. 8.) Although we entertained no doubt from the first of the authenticity of the intelligence which had reached us by the Delhi Gazette Extraordinary, we are gratified that we are enabled to confirm, from subsequent information, the total rout of the Persians before Herat. It appears that the Persians endeavoured to carry the fortress by storm, but were driven back, and that 2,000 were left dead in the field. The rout of the Persians is described as so complete, that the Schah is believed to have been left entirely without an army, and apprehensions are expressed for the safety of the Russian Embassy. The letter from which our intelligence is derived is dated the 25th of June from Herat, but it merely refers to the disasters of the Persians, the particulars of which are stated to have been despatched in a letter of previous date. This first letter has not come to hand. In our previous articles on the subject of the approaching campaign, we have not inquired why such a large amount of force proceeds from the Bengal side to Shirkarpore, when we could convey 5,000 or 6,000 men to that place from this Presidency five or six weeks before they can arrive there from the upper provinces. Let any one look at the map and see. the dis tance to be traversed by the Bengal regiments before ar riving at that place, and then let him satisfy himself with what facility we could, ley the aid of sailing and steam ves sels, convey to the locus in quo a considerable force. The expense of moving the Bengal troops across rivers and sandy deserts must be very large, without taking into considera tion the wear and tear of them ; while from Bombay we could, in comparatively few days, establish a force on the Indus which would arrive fresh and ready for action, at a cost which is scarcely worth mentioning. At all events, if the Bengallies must be largely patronized, they ought to give us at Bombay our fair share, considering that we could be almost on the heights of Caboul before the Ben gal regiments had much more than arrived at Shirkarpore. (From the Bombay Gazette, Sept. 12.) Captain Wade, political agent, returned to Louisiana on the 23d of August, from Lahore, where he had settle& everything to his satisfaction with Runjeet Singh respecting the operations of the approaching campaign ; only 5,000 of our troops will be pushed on into Candahar and Caboul, with the forces of Schah Soojab, to assist in reseating the ex-King upon the guddee. With regard to the advance of the Russians upon Khiva, we may say that this circumstance was firmly believed at Delhi, though not officially known, and that it was generally believed that this advance ac counted for the non-advance of the Usbecks to the relief of Herat. Schah Soojah's force is to consist of five battalions of regular infantry, each 800 strong, and two regiments of irregular horse, with guns attached ; each corps is to have a captain and one subaltern. Upwards of 600 men have already been enlisted at Loodeanah, besides others who have been enlisted at the different stations in Upper India. One of the corps of irregular horse is to be raised by Lieu tenant Nicholson at Delhi, where Captain Macan is now enlisting men for the infantry. Captain Anderson, it is said, is to have the command of one of the corps of irre gular horse. Captain Wade, political agent, passed through Loodeanah on the 15th of August, for Lahore, for the purpose of presenting the treaty which had been signed by the Governor-General to Runjeet Singh : the gallant Cap tain was expected back at Loodeanah by the 20th or 21st of August. CANADA and THE UNITED STATES. (From the New York Papers received to the 9th, and Canada Papers to the 6th Instant.) (From the Toronto Patriot, October 2.) If the on dit of the Albion, that the Queen has written to the Earl of Durham, entreating his stay in Canada, be true, it will set all the world to guessing how it may operate on his Lordship's determination. We opine his Lordship will regard such a flattering manifestation of confidence on the part of her Majesty as a command not to be lightly disobeyed. The proceeding of the North American' Co lonial Association too, is very important, and may have some weight with the Earl. It is rumoured that the Duke of Wellington, Lord John Russell, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Glenelg, and Lord Melbourne, have written to the Earl, to request him to stay and carry out his measures. (From the Niagara Reporter.) We arc indebted to our friend of the Chronicle for the following particulars in manuscript : " About eleven o'clock, last Friday night, the Dragoon' sentries at the lower Ferry were fired upon by some villains who had stationed themselves near the Episcopal Church. yard. In about a quarter of an hour three shots were fired, the men hearing the balls whistling past and striking the water. A strict search was immedately instituted, but the perpetrators of this diabolical outrage remain undiscovered. " This morning, about nine o'clock, the sentry on the steam-boat wharf was fired upon from the commons, as he believes.
